- Similar to Ancestry Library, you can print or save (download) your results. Remember to use the print button as opposed to the print feature under the file tab. There is a way for user to print off an enlarged view of the U.S. Census record. When you click on the print button, there will be instructions on how to “clip” an item from a PDF file. Note: the manual has been downloaded and printed off for you.

- Note: unlike Ancestry Library Edition which offers a soundex search, HeritageQuest Online offers no such feature. If your ancestor’s name was misspelled, you will have to redo the search with the various spelling. FORGET TRUNCATION SYMBOLS!!! Neither “*” or “?” will be accepted in the surname search. You can also search census data by page number!
- Helpful guides to explain the U.S. Census is located on the left hand side of the margin.

- PERSI is produced in cooperation with the Allen County Public Library Foundation, in Fort Wayne, Indiana. One important thing to keep in mind about PERSI is that it doesn’t include full text articles. When you search PERSI you will retrieve citations to articles. If you want copies of the actual articles you will have to track those down through interlibrary loan or order them from the Allen County Public Library Foundation. Periodicals – indexing for “Saskatchewan History”, “Saskatchewan Folklore & History Newsletter” and “Saskatchewan Genealogical Society’s Bulletin”
- Offers no-full text. You have the option of ordering the article from Allen County Public Library.
